Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 342. The Heart of the Strong, They Gathered, The Enemy at the Gates

Lu Yuan knew that the effects of the Separation of Heaven and Earth affected not just Earth; it covered the entire Milky Way Starfield.

Even though its power was gradually weakening, it still restricted Immortal-level existences.

The reason was simple. Back then, those sages had all known that beings below the Immortal level had limited strength and would not pose too great a threat to this world. But anything above that was a completely different matter.

That was why, from the beginning until now, the strongest beings to appear within the Milky Way Starfield had basically only been at the Great Sage Realm.

Otherwise, those immortal figures from back then would not have chosen to merely project their power here.

They would have descended in person if not for the fact that they could not do so.

As for why Lu Yuan believed that once he broke through into the Great Sage Realm, he would be able to deter all the Outer Cosmos beings and stand invincible beneath the stars, the reasoning was just as simple.

Though he believed himself invincible within the same realm, he had never once looked down on his enemies.

Whether it was the Eternals or the Ji Clan, both were incomparably powerful. Their foundations were beyond imagination, and their methods were endless.

To be safe, he could only truly suppress all the Outer Cosmos beings after reaching the Great Sage Realm. [1]

Lu Yuan was proud, but never arrogant.

That was the quality of a true powerhouse.

He had confidence, but when facing an enemy, he would still go all out.

With that, Lu Yuan stopped thinking further. After taking a deep breath, he slowly closed his eyes.

What he needed to do now was keep his current state completely stable.

At every moment, he had to remain at his peak.

After all, his goal was restricted to deterring all the Outer Cosmos beings, but also to break into the Great Sage Realm.

Naturally, he could not afford to neglect anything.

Time passed little by little, and the situation outside grew more and more severe.

Although this was not the first time the Outer Cosmos beings had joined forces, things were different now.

Two of the top powers beneath the starry cosmos had united. Many great races had gathered around them as well.

When the Celestial Court's forces and upper ranks learned the news, nearly all of them became tense. While maintaining strict control over the five supercities, they also began gathering their strength.

The Peacock King, the Nine-tailed Fox King, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Spirit Monkey, and the others were all recalled to Mount Tai.

These Beast Kings had basically all reached the Sage Realm by now, and their strength was formidable. At present, they were among the Celestial Court's strongest forces.

There was no helping it. The enemies they faced this time were stronger than ever before, so they could only deploy their most powerful combat strength.

Zhu Qingyu, representing the younger generation, along with Elder Ji and the rest of the higher-ups, all shared the same belief.

No matter what the Outer Cosmos beings intended to do, one thing was certain.

They absolutely could not be allowed to pose even the slightest threat to King Lu.

By now, whether among ordinary civilians or the Awakened, Lu Yuan had already been regarded as the guardian god of this world.

As long as he was around, there would always be a turning point. As such, they never needed to fear that Earth would be fully conquered by the Outer Cosmos beings.

That was why, in the hearts of the Celestial Court members, even if everyone else died, as long as King Lu lived, humanity had not truly fallen.

That was what Lu Yuan's repeated acts of defending humankind since the dawn of the new era had brought about.

And now, they rose once more.

Including those Beast Kings, all of them returned to Mount Tai.

They shared one simple purpose, which was to stand together with Lu Yuan and face the enemy pressing at the gates.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, there was a vast mountain range.

It had not been famous before. In the past, it had been a plain, but after the transformations of the new era, a mountain range had risen there.

This place was not far from Mount Tai, the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Many beings had already gathered in that region, almost all of them from the Outer Cosmos, and all of them were very powerful.

"With the Ji Clan's support this time, we have even more confidence in dealing with that human, Lu Yuan."

Several figures sat gathered atop a peak, and the one who spoke was a man.

He wore white robes, with his hands clasped behind his back. A divine halo floated behind his head. The aura emanating from him was incomparably powerful, deeply intimidating.

His name was Yu Xiong. He came from the Eternals and ranked fifth among the race top ten Rankers. That was an extremely high rank, and his own strength had already reached the peak of the Lesseer Sage Realm. If he wished, he could step straight into the Great Sage Realm.

In truth, among Rankers across the great races, it was always the same. The higher the rank, the greater the strength and talent. Some of them might appear not to be very high in realm, but if they wished, they could break through at any time.

A heaven-favored prodigy was naturally not the same as an ordinary person.

Zhou Yunqiong was seated next to Yu Xiong.

Several members of the Ji Clan stood behind her. Though they were not Rankers, their strength was not to be underestimated.

Still, none of them spoke.

Zhou Yunqiong stood at the center; because she was someone valued by that great personage, she served as the representative of this operation.

After hearing Yu Xiong's words, a smile appeared on Zhou Yunqiong's face, and she replied, "Naturally. This is a joint effort between two of the greatest superpowers in the cosmos. How can Lu Yuan possibly stop us?"

Her expression turned cold as she continued, "Besides, we have many experts under our command as well. Even if we cannot deal with Lu Yuan himself, there is no need to spare the people around him."

Zhou Yunqiong knew very well that Lu Yuan was extremely powerful. Even now, with both the Ji Clan and the Eternals involved, killing him would still be very difficult.

But Earth, and the so-called Celestial Court, was not made up entirely of people as strong as Lu Yuan.

She could begin with those people instead. It was a despicable method, but so what?

For the sake of revenge, Zhou Yunqiong no longer cared about anything else.

Besides, she had already joined the Ji Clan and now moved among beings like the Eternals. In her heart, the so-called Milky Way Starfield and the human race of this world were no longer her kind.

"Good. With Fairy Zhou saying that, I can rest easy."

A smile immediately appeared on Yu Xiong's face.

Before stronger experts could descend, he knew that relying on people like himself alone would not be enough to deal with Lu Yuan.

After all, even Yu Heng and the others had all died, while Lu Yuan had already reached the Lesser Sage Realm and likely still possessed many more hidden methods.

Yu Xiong had no desire to follow in the footsteps of the others, and so he had taken advantage of the hatred all the races bore toward Lu Yuan.

Combined with the influence of the Eternals themselves, he had already united a large number of people. He refused to believe that under such circumstances, Lu Yuan could still emerge unscathed.

"It's getting late. We need to act quickly as well. I heard that the Celestial Court has already drawn in its forces and recalled everyone with some measure of strength back to Mount Tai. We can use this chance to wipe them all out in one sweep," Zhou Yunqiong spoke, her gaze turning razor-sharp.

Right now, all she wanted was revenge, as quickly as possible. Everything else could be set aside for the time being.

As for the Celestial Court, it had already become the term the Outer Cosmos beings used for Earth, or more accurately, for Huaxia.

After all, many of them knew that the Celestial Court of ancient times had indeed risen from the Milky Way Starfield.

Of course, whether the one Lu Yuan had established now could truly restore that former glory remained to be seen.

But at the very least, in the eyes of the Eternals and the Ji Clan, they would never allow it to rise.

1. Then erm what have you been doing for the past 300+ chapters?? That was a false suppression? ☜
